2015 Map of Reliz Canyon

About this map

The Santa Lucia Range dominates this portion of Los Padres National Forest, where steep canyons and high ridges define the central California landscape. This 2015 topography shows a complex drainage network feeding into Reliz Cr, with numerous seasonal tributaries like Vaqueros Cr and Sweetwater Cr cutting through the terrain. Human activity is largely confined to the winding paths of Reliz Canyon Rd and Monroe Canyon Rd, which follow the natural contours of the land. Distinctive geological and topographic features such as The Rocks and Bear Mtn serve as prominent landmarks for navigation in the backcountry. The map also delineates several significant drainages, including Horse Canyon, Thompson Canyon, and Coleman Canyon, illustrating the erosional patterns of the Coast Ranges.
